BEAR PRIDE

Parent and Community Involvement

Every year, we expand our PRIDE Program to inspire staff and students and improve our school culture and identity. We make decisions and implement projects/events by gathering information from all components of our community. We include student voice through our Student PRIDE Team, other student groups, and surveys; we include staff voice through our PRIDE Team meetings and surveys; and we include our parent and community voice through our PRIDE Team meetings, Parent University, and surveys.

However, we know we need to hear more from our parents and community. Please consider joining us at our meetings or through Parent University (hopefully starting again soon) and complete the surveys when asked. For more information, please contact Ms. Stevens via phone 661-854-5561 or email [email protected]

PRIDE Team Meetings

Meetings are scheduled every other week. Parents, students, and community members are welcome. If interested in attending, please contact Jennifer Stevens by email [email protected] for information.

AHS PRIDE Recognition

Because of the effort by AHS students, staff, parents, and community members, the California PBIS Coalition recognized AHS’s Bear PRIDE system for successful PBIS implementation at the Platinum level in Spring 2025. AHS is a recipient within the California PBIS Coalition’s System of Recognition, reflecting excellence in the measurement of fidelity as well as our efforts in implementing the core features of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.

We work every year to improve our systems and make it easy to implement everywhere our students and community are - classrooms, campus at large, cafeteria, sporting events, visual and performing art events, activities, and even transportation. We have made small improvements every year which include more student celebrations. This year we plan to improve our student and parent voice by including more student groups in the feedback process as well as utilizing Parent Square to keep parents informed of the PRIDE activities on campus. We are always looking for new team members willing to dedicate time to supporting one of the many PRIDE arms reaching across campus.
